The first name 
Veola

Veola is a first name for girls.

Veola – a very rare name!

Recently, the name Veola has been given only a handful of times a year and is therefore particularly rare, at least in the US. In recent years, not even one girl in 100,000 has been named Veola. That means that a girl named Veola is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name her whole life. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Veola.

Veola -
at home only in a few regions of the USA

It is not so easy to find a woman or girl named Veola in the USA. Although the name is not sooooo rare overall, it is only at home in a few selected regions of the USA. In the entire United States there are currently a total of 625 women and girls named Veola, but there are vast areas of the country where not a single person with this name can be found. In fact, the 625 women and girls named Veola live in no more than 9 different states, including for example Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Louisiana and Mississippi. In all other 40 states, there are no – or, to be precise, less than a handful – women called Veola. (To explain: The official statistics provide the data per state only if at least five women with a specific name live in the same state. So, it’s quite possible that there are one or two states where someone with the name Veola lives although the name is not listed in the official statistics. Should you be one of those rare people whose name is Veola and you live outside the states highlighted on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics.). The state with the most girls and women named Veola relative to its female population is Mississippi. And even there, only one in 18,873 women and girls would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Veola.

Veola has 5 letters 
and begins with a V

Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter V is quite rare as an initial letter for girls' names: only 1.6% of all common girls' names in the US begin with V, which means that this initial occurs only about half as often as the other letters on average. But V is by no means the rarest initial. While Q, X and U are the least common initials of girls' names, the most common first letters of girls' names are A, S and M.

With five letters, the name Veola is comparatively short. In fact, 17.0% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly five letters. Only 7% of all first names are even shorter, while 75% have more than five letters. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long. There are no significant differences between boys' and girls' names.

From this follows that if 1.6% of all girls' names begin with a V, this initial letter is less common than the other letters on average. Incidentally, of the comparatively few girls' names that begin with a V, Virginia is currently the most common.

Other names with
